Nutrition for Mamas

87. Foods I Avoid for Postpartum Weight Loss


Listen Later

Feeling drained, moody, or stuck on your postpartum weight loss journey despite your best efforts? In this episode, Brooke shares exactly which foods she avoids while breastfeeding and why. It’s not about restriction, it’s about nourishment that fuels your energy, mood, and milk supply.

What to Listen For

  • Why sugary drinks (even diet ones!) might be wrecking your energy and cravings
  • The surprising reason your “healthy” fat-free foods might not be helping your weight loss
  • What’s really hiding in low-fat salad dressings (and the clean brands to try instead)
  • The truth about energy drinks and breastfeeding safety
  • Why margarine and certain oils could be messing with your metabolism
  • Brooke’s favorite 3-ingredient swaps for cooking oil that actually support your hormones
  • How processed foods can drain more than just your energy
  • What alcohol really does to your postpartum body
  • Easy high-protein snacks Brooke always keeps on hand for busy, low-energy days
  • Brooke’s go-to frozen and sheet pan meals that make healthy eating effortless
  • This episode is your permission slip to nourish your body better, not less. By being intentional about what you keep in your home (and how you build your meals), you’ll start to notice more energy, fewer cravings, and real momentum toward your goals. You don’t have to do this perfectly, just start with awareness. ✨
